What should I do if my daughter has had a high fever of 103?F for two days that does not go down with Calpol, only drops temporarily with Meftal P, and she is now very weak and unable to eat?
Since her high fever of 103?F has lasted for two days and is not settling with Calpol (paracetamol) or Meftal P (mefenamic acid), she needs to be evaluated by a healthcare professional promptly. Her weakness and inability to eat suggest she may be getting dehydrated. Please take her to a doctor or clinic today for a proper physical exam and potential blood tests. In the meantime, encourage her to take small, frequent sips of water or oral rehydration solutions (ORS), and use lukewarm water sponging to help soothe her. Seeking professional care now is the safest step.
